This first card I actually made yesterday. I made two. The one was delivered this evening as my husband took his Mom shopping for groceries. The 2nd will wait until Saturday when I'll have the opportunity to hand deliver it to my Mom. It's a CASE from luvmyboys&stampin. You can see her card here. The sentiment is computer generated; I used my Cricut to cut the butterfly and scalloped oval.
Last night I had some time so I kept working in my stamp room. I needed to make a birthday card for my Dad. I'll be seeing him this weekend also and even though it's a few days early, I'll give it to him then. I found an awesome card by Wendy Janson on SCS (2nd card to CASE). I used a CD to trace the larger circle and cut it by hand; the star was made using my Cricut. I have a whole bin of buttons that I got from my Mom so I looked through it to find one that I thought would work. I secured it using hemp. The sentiment is computer generated.
And my third card... I CASEd this one made by Korin (Sweet n Sassy Stamps). I had won a digital image from Sweet n Sassy a few weeks ago. I chose to step way out of my comfort zone and picked Sweet Birthday as my free image. For my first try at using it and making a 'cute' card, I relied on CASE-ing Korin's card. I coloured the image using Prismacolor Markers & Odorless Mineral Spirits. The ric-rac ribbon is some really old ribbon that my Mom found in her sewing supplies and gave to me. The sentiment is computer generated; the ovals are nestibilities used in my Big Kick.
I have a few more birthday cards to make this month; I'm thankful for cards that I can CASE as my mojo up and disappeared quite some time ago. I'm thankful for the stamping community that willingly share their works of art. Thank you SO much! I would have given up my stamps years ago if it weren't for each of you!
